Wednesday Secrets That You Missed
362Have you managed to catch all of the secrets in the first season for Wednesday? Today, we’ll be breaking down all of the behind the scenes trivia on the Netflix series Wednesday. For example, did you know that Jenna Ortega had to choreograph her own dance scene, which would later go on to be recreated by the likes of Lady Gaga? She took plenty of inspiration from videos of 80’s goth clubs, as well as from goth artists like Siouxsie and the Banshees. Christina Ricci actually never spoke to Jenna Ortega about the fact that she had taken on the role of Wednesday Addams in previous films, including 1991’s The Addams Family and 1993’s Addams Family Values. In fact, Christina Ricci almost wasn’t even in Wednesday as well, as Thora Birch from The Walt Disney Company’s Hocus Pocus was actually cast in the role first. Gwendoline Christie’s character of Principle Larissa Weems was actually styled after Tippi Hedren from alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, and she’s spoken about how glad she was to be able to play a much more glamorous character than her previously best-known role as Brienne of Tarth from the HBO series Game of Thrones. Tim Burton had a few unique ideas when it came to building the world of the Addams family, including asking Jenna Ortega not to blink, and hiring Victor Dorobantu to play Thing! In fact, this wasn’t even Tim Burton’s first time approaching an Addams Family project, the first time being when he had to turn down the chance to direct the film in order to focus on his work in Batman Returns.
